Learn to Write Better, Not Memorise More.

Most students approach Section 2 the wrong way: hunting for essays to memorise, examples to collect, or theories to espouse in the hopes the same topics appear on test day.

The problem?

These are counterproductive to developing the skills Section 2 actually needs: thinking, and organising your thinking in writing.

Unlike essays you wrote in high school or uni, Section 2 functions not to assess your understanding of a topic, but to assess the quality of your thinking process!

AKA: How well can you generate deep & well-reasoned arguments, structure them sensibly, and communicate them under time pressure?

So, in this course, we don’t teach rigid templates, make you memorise topics and theories you don’t care about, or hold you to arbitrary stylistic standards.

Instead, we offer a framework that pushes you to maximise the ideas you already care about, organise your thinking across every stage of Section 2, build meaningful arguments, and grow your own unique writing voice.

22 lessons, 2 frameworks, & a new confidence in your S2 potential.

  • "What I liked the most about the course is that it untangled common struggles, clarified the myths, and provided detailed step-by-step instructions for writing a well-structured essay. This really helped me untangle my struggles of essay writing."

    Phoebe T | ★★★★★

  • "Loved how organised it was. I was having a hard time coming up with contentions for my essays, and this guide really helped structure my ideas!"

    Anonymous | ★★★★★

  • "I'd be lost without this guide! It well exceeded my expectations."

    Rob J | ★★★★★

  • "I loved that this finally gives an actionable framework that is realistic, can be shaped to how you write, and does not impose overly tight expectations to write like a columnist- the reason I have been running away from writing essays"

    Vish P | ★★★★★

  • "Loved the breakdown of each component of GAMSAT essay writing! Very helpful!!"

    Maddy N | ★★★★★

  • "The advice and template for thinking effectively and critically help my ability to adapt to any prompt or theme, rather than relying on a process to fit one thing. This is a guide to S2 that provided me with the clarity and confidence I need to think effectively and adapt under pressure in the short time that is left to prepare."

    Declan J | ★★★★★

  • "The guide was excellent in helping you navigate this section in a critical and strategic manner, by not just focusing on how to write better, but to think and plan better. It has reshaped my approach to section 2 and I'm keen to implement the learnings when practicing my own essays."

    Elly N | ★★★★★

  • "Loved the example walkthroughs and drilling down on to what ACER is looking for/what to not waste your time on (e.g. evidence!)"

    Bella P | ★★★★★

  • "This guide cuts through the bullsh*t. A diamond of a resource for anyone confused or alarmed by the prevailing online discourse around GAMSAT success- especially to help with precise strategy for both humanities sections."

    Scott N | ★★★★★

  • "This S2 guide was seriously soooo helpful! it broke down a step by step process on how to plan an essay and then make put it altogether. The guide not only included detailed text, but also annotated examples, and videos showing real-time thinking, which I found super helpful. overall, this guide was seriously so helpful and 100000% worth the money!"

    Shah G | ★★★★★

  • "This guide genuinely helped clear up so many questions I had about S2! I'm not very confident when it comes to essay-writing, so I was actually avoiding everything about S2 so that I wouldn't think about it (out of sight, out of mine)! But now, I have an action plan when it comes to actually studying and practicing for S2 so now I won't be avoiding it any more!"

    Lily W | ★★★★

  • "It was so helpful for understanding what is wanted from S2 and provided a really useful plan for approaching essay planning and writing"

    Annabel A | ★★★★★

  • "This is my second time sitting the GAMSAT… and while there is a plethora of information available online, there is also a LOT of misinformation… I've spent hundreds of dollars before trying to learn what you have SO clearly laid out here. Your experience is clear, and so is your desire to help students by making the resource affordable. I found it incredibly helpful! Thank you! “

    Puja T | ★★★★★

  • “I'm usually okay with Section 2 but after working through this, I've walked away with SO MANY invaluable tips and tricks… I particularly enjoyed how each component to planning and writing was broken down into isolated drills… and the blueprint to follow. Thank you Lexi and the team for putting this together!”

    Dana M | ★★★★★

  • "Coming from a science background, my essays have always been my downfall throughout high school and university. This has helped me develop a structure and help me understand what my essays should look like and what the goal is in S2."

    Max P | ★★★★★

  • "this art of the guide did an exceptional (!!!!!!) job at breaking down the process of not only writing the essays, but also planning them (arguably more important). they way Lexi separated the components of essay planning and writing was so easy to understand and helped me grasp what ACER was really asking of me for S2. So so good!"

    Shani J | ★★★★★

  • "I was completely lost in the whirlwind of 'prep' information online before having this S2 guide. I am so grateful to have completed it, it has truely re-shaped my thinking and I am so hopeful for my S2 progress!"

  • We founded No Bullshit GAMSAT because we were doing private GAMSAT tutoring and weren’t happy with the cost barrier that it involved.

    We felt there must be a way to deliver the same transformative insights to students, but at a much lower cost.

    Thus, No Bullshit GAMSAT was born!

    This course contains information and resources equivalent to more than $500 of private tutoring sessions, but we’ve slashed the price to make it as accessible as we possibly can, whilst still meeting running costs.

    Wins all round!
